Beautiful bar made from African Mahogany and Rock Hard Maple. The look of this bar speaks for itself. Finished natural with five coats resin/oil base varnish. Semigloss. Wine storage, refrigerator compartment and shelving in back. 2" maple footrest with black iron brackets. Matching stools. Truly an heirloom that can be passed down from generation to generation.

I made my first piece of furniture right before our daughter was born. It was a little changing table I made from 3/4 plywood; drawers and all ! I painted it brown and my wife made the cushion and covering for it. We were both very proud. Our daughter now has a family of her own, and two years ago I made a changing table for her first child (our first grandchild!) I've come a LONG way since then ! !
90% of all the furniture you see here or in my shop is made in the true Arts & Craft tradition. Using quarter sawn white oak, mortise and tenon joinery, hand rubbed Tung Oil or phenolic resin based varnish with a minimum of five coats. Heirloom quality pieces that can be passed down generation to generation. Beautiful in it's natural state or stained per your request. There is no inventory; all orders are taken and custom made. Delivery usually ranges from 8-12 weeks (depending on current work load). Sideboards, dining tables/chairs, corner hutches, hall trees/benches, hall tables, end tables, coffee tables, clocks, mirrors, etc. ALL patterned after the furniture that was popular at the turn of the 20th century and made with beautiful quarter sawn white oak. While this furniture was primarily made from quarter sawn white oak, I realize that some may want their custom made piece made from some other species of wood. This is not a problem. as you can see from some of the photos, I frequently use cherry, walnut, maple, etc. when called upon. Regardless of the wood used, you will love the quality and appearance of your heirloom quality Arts & Craft furniture from Bungalow. I guarantee it ! !

For Wood arm chairI commissioned an oversized mission chair from Bungalow White Oak Furniture through Custom Made. I was hoping for a high quality piece that is very sturdy. Not only was I not disappointed but I was also quite pleased with the artistry of the composition. This was expressed in the form of all the parts as related to the pattern of the grain and of course the masterful wood working. The seat features three tiger stripes which really sets the chair apart from anything you could buy in a store. The clear finish adds a sheen as a wonderful enhancement. It will prove to be a valued heirloom for generations, I'm sure. I highly recommend this maker. Please, accept my gratitude for a job well done.

For Farm TableI am thrilled with our custom made farm table. It is absolutely the way I envisioned it!! I loved getting the updates along the way! And because he is semi local to me, Mike delivered it to us personally. Definitely a plus! I have several 'wants' on my list and won't hesitate to contact Mike in the future.

For Desk ProjectEverything that I asked for, Mike made it come to life. His communication and timeliness are top-notch. I'd alway hear back within a day. He used really nice hardware. From sturdy drawer slides that pulled all the way out to handles that went perfectly with the look of the desk. When I made design changes part way through the project, Mike was really flexible and reinforced the fact that he felt one should get exactly what they want on site called custommade.com. When you see details like the dovetailed drawers, you know that Mike is a real craftsman that loves his work. My desk is built to last and will get passed down for generations to come.
